Chapter 321: Chapter 202: Hehehe! (Two in One, Please Subscribe) Chapter 321: Chapter 202: Hehehe! (Two in One, Please Subscribe) Cloud Mountain Workshop was shrouded in the skies above.
A bronze shield and a Double Dragon Copper Mirror from the Artifact Heart Sect were suspended in mid-air, occasionally releasing rings of cyan light to suppress the Evil Qi surging from the depths of Cloud Mountain.
The grand formation of Cloud Mountain was also coordinating with these two sect’s Spiritual Treasures, continuously unleashing bolts of thunder to eradicate the lingering Evil Qi.
However, although the Formation was still functioning, not a single Cultivator from any sect was left in Cloud Mountain Workshop at this moment.
Whether it was the upper echelons of Artifact Heart Sect or those experts who had come to help, they had chosen not to continue to stay in Cloud Mountain. Instead, they were on the deck of a colossal Immortal Boat.
They stared at the changing landscape of Cloud Mountain with complex emotions.
Even though there was the support of the Formation and Spiritual Treasures, strange changes had taken place in the unseen depths beneath Cloud Mountain.
It was a disturbance involving the Earth Veins.
It wouldn’t be strange if, in the near future, this region transformed into an Evil Domain like the Mu Character Domain.
“Do we continue to wait? Every second poses the risk of sudden, unpredictable changes!”
On the deck, the Sect Master of the Artifact Heart Sect looked towards the current person in charge, the Supreme Elder of Sky Sword Sect… Elder Jian!
Elder Jian wore plain grey robes, and his grey-white hair was simply coiled atop his head.
As the person with the highest Cultivation present, he had taken on the important task as soon as he arrived undeniably.
“The number of activated Evil-Slaying Sword Arrays is barely over a thousand,”
“Even if Old Man solicits the help of the Divine Weapon Heavenly Sword to buttress the Array, success is not guaranteed with a single strike!”
“You should know, if we don’t succeed with one strike, the troops’ morale will immediately crumble!”
Elder Jian might be old and of high Cultivation, but he was not foolish.
He knew that once the first strike failed, and if by chance the Supreme Elder of Artifact Heart Sect ran out,
Neither the Cultivators from Artifact Heart Sect, Sky Sword Sect, nor any Nascent Souls or Golden Core experts from other major sects,
Would be likely to join forces against the enemy.
They were more inclined to unleash their Spiritual Artifacts, cast their Big Moves while fleeing,
Considering that doing so would sufficiently repay the debt of fellowship among those of the Righteous Path.
As for the idea of sacrificing oneself to eliminate evil and uphold justice… that was impossible among the Cultivators hailing from sects throughout the Southern Desolate.
Even among the topmost Immortal Sects like the Golden Ray Monastery, which seemed compassionate and devoted to saving the masses,
The monks who traveled across the land sealing Evil Spirits clearly did so for profit, fulfilling some grand scheme.
Moreover, even they didn’t fearlessly seal and purify every Evil Spirit and Evil God.
Otherwise, how could there still be Evil Domains and contaminated secret realms in the Immortal Cultivation World?
While everyone pondered their own gains and losses,
Suddenly, a tremendous bang that could be heard for hundreds of miles erupted in the sky!
The Cultivators on the deck were startled and looked up to see half of the sky covered in dark clouds.
Suddenly, a black hole tore through the clouds.
First, a scorching whirlwind of fire burst out of the black hole,
Immediately after, a small island marked by traces of civilization was squeezed out like toothpaste from the black hole,
Once the island emerged fully, it nosedived towards the ground.
And its speed was shocking!
One moment it was high in the sky,
The next, it crashed, together with several Immortal Boats and golden-armored puppets caught in the collision, into the ground not far from Cloud Mountain.
A wave of scorching air scattered with the impact of the island,
A mushroom cloud rivaling Cloud Mountain rose into the sky.
Though not a direct hit, the grand formation of Cloud Mountain fluctuated violently with the shockwave,
The consumption rate of the Array Spirit Stones soared in that moment by more than tenfold.
Moreover, due to the impact location, some unfortunate Evil-Slaying Sword Arrays were also affected.
While Foundation Establishment Cultivators used various means to escape danger,
It was hard to avoid casualties, with Qi Cultivation disciples suffering grave injuries and deaths in the aftermath.
“That is… a secret realm anchored in this airspace has been invaded by Evil Qi, unable to maintain spatial stability, it was forced to reveal itself!”
Elder Jian’s face turned unsightly as he spoke in a low voice:
“See, even those hidden in secret realms are forced to emerge!”
“Moreover, oftentimes the secret realms themselves are being eroded by Evil Qi, becoming unsuitable for Cultivators to practice their Cultivation.”
At the crash site, which resembled a meteor crater,
Dozens of differently shaped Evil Spirits, revived from the explosion, began instinctively charging towards the Cloud Mountain Workshop.
These Evil Spirits were all contaminated presences from the fallen secret realm over the course of thousands of years,
Each belonging to the powerful Evil Spirits of the Foundation Establishment realm,
For Cultivators, though easy to defeat, continuously slaughtering and sealing them was troublesome.
By Elder Jian’s side, the powerful ally from Ten Directions Sect, Ten Directions Left Envoy, heaved a sigh and stepped forward.
This was a man who looked like a scholarly middle-aged gentleman,
Wearing a mask that revealed only his rounded chin and was etched with mystical patterns.
He stretched out his left hand and lightly pressed forward.
A giant blue hand made of flames appeared abruptly in the sky,
Then it pressed downward, and at the point of impact on the ground, an immense suction force emerged, drawing all the incoming Evil Spirits to that spot.
After the hand pressed down, there was no explosion, but the pure blue flames continued to burn,
The Evil Spirits were incinerated to ash, and then, along with the blue flames on the ground, were drawn into a glass bottle that Ten Directions Left Envoy produced.
“Is this one of your sect’s signature techniques, the Great Ten Directions Annihilation Hand?”
From behind Ten Directions Left Envoy, an Artifact Heart Sect elder who had discerned part of the profound secrets of the technique clicked his tongue in amazement, envious and covetous.
The techniques and Divine Skills he cultivated were similar to those of Ten Directions Left Envoy.
